Working Prophet.

Chapter 85 Conditions
After getting Ilea's promise, Li Yu further discussed some details with her.

After reaching a consensus, Li Yu walked out of the castle immediately and returned to those lizard people.

Although he had only been away for less than an hour, the lizardmen outside the city were already eager to see him through. When they saw him coming out, they immediately swarmed up and looked at him eagerly.

Seeing this, Li Yu didn't give a shit, and said directly, "From today onwards, you are the leaders of the Arias family. Ilea has allocated two pieces of land near the swamp to the church, and allowed Saturday's believers to live on it." settle down."

Hearing this, the lizard people all showed excitement on their faces.

They certainly didn't live in the swamp because they liked it, and according to Onond, no one knows where the first people who entered the Great Gaigou Swamp and decided to live in it came from.

Some said they were peasants who couldn't bear the tyranny of the lord, some said they were bandits who had nowhere to go, and some said they were nobles who were hunted down by their enemies...

In short, no matter what their identities, they all have one thing in common, that is, they can't live outside the swamp, and they have to break into the swamp to find a way out.

However, the price of this way of life is also very high. Most of the first batch of people who entered died not long after, while for the remaining small group of people, the nightmare has just begun.

"This swamp is full of malice for outsiders, poisonous insects and poisons everywhere, extreme lack of food, clean water and other necessary survival tools, all kinds of invisible and intangible horrible diseases that are called curses by the lizard people, and more Not to mention those dangerous predators.

In such an extremely harsh environment, it is very reasonable for them to worship the unkillable Sosokus.

Even if they make it a little bit more comfortable through the efforts of generations, they will definitely not be as good as the land outside.

Some young lizardmen have begun to imitate Li Yu's articulation, calling out "Saturday and Saturday", and now they have completely believed that the guy who claims to be a prophet in front of them is really Saturday, or Sosokus sent to save them.

But Aonond remained calm during this.

When the cheers were a little quieter, Onond asked, "What's the condition? How much tax do we have to pay to that rabbitman every year? Will the warriors in the clan be driven by her to fight her enemies desperately? Women and What about the children, are they going to be her slaves?"

Li Yu glanced at Aonond again, and found that this tall and strong lizardman had meticulousness and caution that did not match his appearance. No wonder he was chosen as the leader by these lizardmen.

"Ilea is your lord. She has her own name. From now on, don't be that rabbit man again. That rabbit man calls her. You can have a place to settle down. In addition to sending me to rescue you on Saturday, and Her tolerance and kindness are also inseparable.

"Not long ago, you just killed quite a few of her citizens and fighters. If she can let go of her hatred and accept you, you should give her some respect."

After a pause, Li Yu continued, "Of course there are conditions. First of all, the most basic one. You will have to rely on your own hands to fill your stomachs from now on, and you can't hurt other people in the territory anymore."

"What about the people outside the territory?" A lizard man asked in his soul.

"........."

"It's not allowed outside of Ilea's territory." Li Yu said, "All the land in the western region has owners. If you go out and rob others, the lords of those people will come to question Ilea. It will start a war, don't get her into trouble."

"Then what if other people come to mess with us?" Another lizard man asked.

"Detain the person and wait for me to deal with it when I come back." Li Yu said bluntly, "Let's do this for now, and I will set up a court later to deal with this kind of thing.

"Just remember the following principle. If someone is polite to you, you should also be polite to them. If someone is rude to you, first reason. Under such circumstances, try not to kill people."

Since they live in the territory of the Red Lion Empire, the laws of the empire must still be obeyed.

However, the "Imperial Code" is too thick, and Li Yu didn't bother to read it, let alone show it to these lizardmen. Fortunately, at this stage, Li Yu doesn't intend to let these lizardmen have too much communication with the outside world. .

According to the agreement between him and Ilea, these lizardmen cannot leave the territory of the cult, and the attitude of the nearby people towards the lizardmen is generally fear and hatred.

Miss Rabbit's territory is very barren, there is nothing but carrots and other self-sufficient food crops, and there are very few outsiders who come here full of food on weekdays.

Li Yu can completely popularize the precepts first, and then implement the law.

After looking around and seeing that no one asked any questions, Li Yu continued, "As for taxes, since this land belongs to the religious order, Miss Ilea hardly collects agricultural taxes directly on this land, nor does it Additional corvees will be sent, but in return, when she encounters difficulties, you must respond to her call and fight for the Arias family."

Surprised expressions appeared on the faces of the lizardmen. They seemed to have never expected that the rabbitman lord would be so generous.

But this is actually an unwritten rule of the Red Lion Empire. Generally, the land confiscated by the big nobles will no longer tax the common people on this land, which is equivalent to completely delegating the management rights to the small lords. In exchange for their allegiance.

Whether the little lords lose or win has nothing to do with them, and once there is a war in the future, the little lords must bring their own weapons and dry food, and send troops to accompany them.

Such was the case with the Arias themselves, whose ancestors swore allegiance to the Figueirolas in exchange for green fields.

Of course, the big lords will also collect certain taxes and fees from the small lords in some names.

Individuals who are very short of money do not rule out that they will come up with all kinds of weird names to squeeze wool from the little lord, or even bankrupt the little lord, but once they do this, their reputation will naturally become very bad, serious There may also be rebellion.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, basically no family will do this.

After talking about taxes and military service, Li Yu's voice also dropped, "Also, the Arias family insists that you hand over the murderer who killed the Knights of Trinidad."

Li Yu originally thought that the last request was the most difficult, but he didn't expect the lizard people to accept it very quickly, and three of them stood up voluntarily.

Although there was a little reluctance in the expression, there was no struggle.

This made Li Yu's mood even more complicated, because he realized that this was the group consciousness developed by the lizard people living in an extremely harsh environment for a long time.

For the survival of the group, any individual can be sacrificed.
